Notice Title
Pre-Market Engagement-Rough Sleeping Prevention and Resettlement Framework
Notice Description
We're developing a shared framework for homelessness services across Nottinghamshire, focused on people who are currently, formerly, or at risk of rough sleeping - especially those facing Severe Multiple Disadvantage (SMD) The framework will include three lots: 1. Supported Housing - Support Only: enable people experiencing SMD to access existing supported housing settings, alongside flexible support to help them stabilise, recover, and progress (no funding for property costs) 2. Outreach, Navigation & Coordination: assertive engagement, named navigators, and strategic coordination across services. 3. Integrated Specialist Support: community-based support in areas like mental health, physical health, employment, and financial inclusion. Services will be called off via direct award or mini competition, and providers can join the framework annually. We're taking an outcomes-based approach, with a strong focus on: * Trauma-informed, relational ways of working * Joined-up responses across services * Inclusion of lived experience * System learning and improvement We recognise that women, refugees, migrants, and other marginalised groups may experience disadvantage differently. All services must be gender-informed, culturally competent, and responsive to diverse pathways into and out of homelessness and SMD. Purpose and Outcomes The services will contribute to Nottinghamshire's system-wide goals for people experiencing SMD. It does not deliver these outcomes alone - success depends on collaboration across commissioned services, statutory partners, and commissioners. The services will support the following system-level goals: For People * A stable, safe home - not just temporary accommodation, but somewhere people can settle and belong * Improved health and wellbeing - including mental health, physical health, and recovery from trauma * Stronger relationships and support networks - including trusted professionals, peers, and community connections * A sense of agency, dignity and belonging - people feel heard, respected, and able to shape their own journey * Reduced exposure to crisis - fewer interactions with emergency services, fewer unsafe environments For Services * Joined-up responses - services work together around the person, not in silos * Shared ownership of outcomes - no hand-offs or "not our remit" responses * Better use of resources - less duplication, more targeted and effective support * Embedded lived experience - people with lived experience shape design, delivery, and evaluation * Flexible, trauma-informed practice - services adapt to people's needs, not the other way around For the System * A permanent multiple needs pathway - so people get the right response and the specialist support they need every time * A culture of learning and improvement - driven by data, insight, and reflective practice * Stronger relationships across sectors - enabling shared problem-solving and strategic alignment * Resilience and adaptability - the system can respond to emerging needs, policy changes, and local context * Equity and inclusion - responses are gender-informed, culturally competent, and accessible to all
Planning Information
We want to hear from suppliers currently delivering services to the homeless/rough sleeper communities to help shape and deliver services that make a real difference. Interested suppliers are invited to complete a questionnaire regarding current homelessness / rough sleeping provision in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area to inform the forthcoming procurement. The questionnaire asks suppliers what works, what doesn't, and how we can use new techniques/ideas to improve services. The questionnaire can be access at: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=47f164db-46a0-f011-813a-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 or via: https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ , ref: DN792924
